after a serious of stupid operations, here is the current state of my nexus 9 lte..
1. no android os is correctly installed, after reboot, it stay on a black screen with google logo.
2. it can be connected to pc and use adb and fastboot.
3. it is oem locked! fastboot oem unlock return error.
since it is locked, I can't use fastboot to flash the factory image, I try adb sideload the full ota img, and it finished without error, but after reboot it still stay on the google logo.
any suggestions? is there anything else I can do?

Do you have twrp installed by any chance? If yes, see if this will help. Good luck.
If stock recovery, sorry dude. I'm not sure.

Can you access stock recovery? If so grab an OTA image (NOT FASTBOOT IMAGE!!! AN OTA IMAGE!!!) and sideload it via adb sideload. Make sure you have adb 1.0.32 installed or above. I needed to do this for my Nexus 9.

Not at all game over, there is never a game over on XDA.
https://developers.google.com/android/ota
Just find the Nexus 9 tab and run "adb sideload [path to ota.zip]" like normal. remember, when you get to stock recovery from HBOOT, hold down power, hit volume up, and release both keys to get to the menu where you can choose to do a "USB update"
Forgot about the ota images. Never used one. I knew there was a way, when people started having this issue I thought I remembered Google making a fix.

Oh sorry my bad... hmmm that is a thinker. Just keep trying different OTA images, downgrade, upgrade, everything. Do you remember what may have caused this? it may help us figure out what's wrong.

Ninja'd lol. Labs didn't update for me
today, I retry the adb sideload method with a new ota image.
in my previous test, I used the v6.0.1 mmb29x, and today I download and sideloaded the v7.0 nrd91n, this time it worked! now I can reboot and pass the stupid google logo.

It has been a long while since I felt the need to flash a rom but today i decided to update to current. Made a huge mistake and formatted the sd card and wiped the os and Rom install files. Right now i can access fastboot, Hboot, and recovery. But for some reason USB doesnt work in recovery. with no OS to boot my device just sits at the Htc factory white screen. I have not been able to find one way to adb into my device to"push " the needed OS zip. Also have tried to flash a factory RUU but no adb access. Can someone help me out of this problem?

Are you able to issue fastboot commands? If so try fastboot reboot recovery and see if adb is then recognized.

Nope that didnt work. Is there a Update or img zip file that can be flashed via bootloader that includes a rom?
I recommend you to check if HTC has some recovery utilities. Exactly the same thing happened to me months ago with an Xperia SP, but recovery didn't work either, not to mention adb nor usb ; my computer didn't recognise the device at all. At the end I found a Sony program that made me manually choose my phone and region, made the phone recognizable for the program, and flashed full stock. HTC should have something similar.

What happens when you boot to recovery and type adb devices?? If nothing shows up try.
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices
and see what happens.
What recovery are you using?

Hey guys, I think I've bricked my N9. What happened was I rooted it successfully, but then on flashing a custom recovery, I used the wrong image file. Instead of using the flounder image, I mistakenly flashed the volantis one. And then I flashed twrp for flounder. But after that, the recovery could not mount anything and ADB Sideload did not work. After that, I when and restore everything back to stock with factory image, however I cannot boot into system. I am effectively stuck in bootloader, and that's where I am. I tried rooting and flashing twrp recovery, and again, it could not mount and ADB Sideload is not working. I tried everything. Is my N9 done for? Or can someone point me in the right direction and get my N9 back?
I once bricked my lg g2 pretty badly, couldn't use adb or recovery.
I managed to repair it by booting a linux and manually overwrite the partitions with the factoy image.
There is a thread with instructions here on xda in the g2 forum, could work with the nexus to.

just look for the image for your device on recovery. as long as you have fastboot it can be saved. just look for your version flounder custom recovery and it should work

I don't have a Linux system and looking through thread seems too advance for me. I can't relate it to the N9. However, there seems to be something wrong partition, because I can't mount storage.

I can flash custom recovery, but I can't push files or adb sideload, therefore I can't do anything in recovery anyway.

thanks for all your help, I will try different factory image and flashing from OTG
The problem is your kernel is not loading or mismatched to the operating system. I have experienced this a lot on HTC devices when I screw something up... I mean "experiment"
You need to flash the boot system and vendor image from the latest factory ROM.
You need to do it manually...
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
Then reboot to recovery and wipe data. Not factory rest but actually wipe all of /data partition.
That should get you back. If not post back results.
If you are not familiar with fastboot then state so and I will help you.
Yes! I got it booting again, thank you everyone for helping. Apparently, the problem was, I think, wiping manually, that is, system, cache, recovery, boot, user data, and vendor didn't erase everything. What did the trick was [fastboot -w], I did this instead of erasing one by one. Thank you so much guys!

First question - Did you flash a bad bootloader? If no, then you cannot have possibly bricked your nexus 9. I do believe this is the ONLY way you could brick a nexus. If you still have access to fastboot mode, you are totally fine. I would recommend flashing the factory images and just starting fresh. Depending on which nexus 9 you have, either the wifi only or LTE variant, you can download the appropriate packages at https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images . Basically, you need to extract the package into a folder, boot your device into fastboot mode, and run the flashall.bat (windows) or flashall.sh(linux). As long as you have fastboot and ADB properly installed into your $PATH or atleast have fastboot and adb in your working folder, everything should be ok. If you run into any problems, contact me via PM or I can be found on IRC (Network freenode, #android, #cyanogenmod, #android-root). Good luck

I have a similar problem my nexus 9 wont turn on and would freeze in the optimizing apps screen after going past the nexus logo but i can get to the fastboot and recovery. But i cannot flash the factory image because my bootloader is locked and i didn't enable developer options prior to the problem. I'm thinking about sideloading the latest ota would that help me ? And is there anyway to unlock bootloader if i can't boot the device?

Can you please explain to me what fastboot w- command means ?
It erases userdata and cache. Often needed if you run into bootloops. But it does wipe your data so backup off your device first.
Bricked N9
Hi everyone, well my problem is that i was trying to flash Android 6.0 but i accidentally execute the flash-all.bat file while i was trying to open it in the note block. It was booting normally but it seems that my N9 was encrypted, so it said that the Unencrypted was incorrect so it forced me to hard reset my tablet. i did this but it was taking like 20 min to erase my file (the android appeared and it was over a message that was "Wiping" -it was in spanish borrando-) so i turn it off and now my tablet is on a bootloop, after it appears the Google logo the 4 dots start to move but then the tablet turn off and repeat that cycle. Apparently i dont have recovery (appears the android laid down with a red triangle with an exclamation mark) and when i try to enter the hard reset the bootloop happens, the same if i try to reboot, i cant activate usb debugging i can only use the fastboot mode, my pc doesnt reconize my N9.
Thanks
PD: Sorry about my english, im from mexico, but i expect i had explained myself.

-how can i flash device normally via TWRP (no sense stock ROM or rooted)? I just want my device normally work (with/without root no sense).

You can't flash stock from TWRP.
You will need to flash the latest factory image for your device.

How the hell are you locked, if you have TWRP recovery on the Device?
Have you tried a factory reset?
How did the device get into this state? After OTA process?
Doubt if it will work but you could try sideloading the Android N OTA.
---------- Post added at 01:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:59 PM ----------
Have you tried "fastboot oem unlock", depending on how you relocked your device, that command might still be enabled in developer options.

My brother try to root the device.
During flashing something go wrong.
So now
I tryed Factory Reset - it shows This is development device not intended for production use, hten TWRP start, shows errors "Unable to mount data.." and return to fastboot screen
Maybe some hope for you .........
If indeed you have TWRP recovery installed, and your system + data partition are not corrupted/deleted.
You maybe able to set OEM Unlock flag with a flash able script.
Get Nexus BootUnlocker script
Nexus BootUnlocker script (GN, N4, N5, N6, N7 '13, N9, N10)
I don't know about everyone else but sometimes I find I've rebooted into the bootloader only to realize I've forgotten to unlock it in segv11's excellent BootUnlocker App beforehand. Well, I decided to make a BootUnlocker Script for my Galaxy Nexus so I could just boot to recovery quickly, unlock, then adb reboot-bootloader (or use my Reboot To Bootloader script below) to get back without having to fully boot the OS to make the change. Also extremely useful in the case you aren't able to boot. As with the app there is no data loss like there would be with fastboot, allowing you to relock for safety. Originally posted in the GN EDIFY Scripting thread. Modified for the newer Nexus devices and combined into a single Nexus BootUnlocker zip with tamperbit reset support added using information from the BootUnlocker App Dev thread. For newer devices using Factory Reset Protection (N6+N9), the BootUnlocker Script can't directly toggle the lockstate due to new security tokens, but it does now toggle the ability to use "fastboot oem unlock" without needing a booted device.

If the script works, issue "fastboot oem unlock" in fastboot mode.
Note: The above script will only work from a custom recovery such as TWRP.
The phone has unlockable bootloader and I only have low mobile data and was wondering if there's a way to rip the stock recovery to port twrp over.
When I get wifi tomorrow, I'll try using PC king root while the phone is in fastboot mode.
Kingoroot will get to 100 but fail, kingroot pc version would just give me Chinese letters and do nothing.
Can anyone list anyother root exploits I might I can try on this phone? I tried the Android version of kingroot , but that just gives me the request device and I can't bypass it.

I would just disable the app... just in case there is an update for the phone in future... if you remove the app the update will fail but if its disabled you can just enable it take update and then disable it again... also disable the stock gallery and install a third party one from the playstore... the stock gallery app will through all sorts of ads at you full screen ads as well.
I used titainium backup to disable all apps I didn't want... bit you can use what ever app you want. You can disable most apps in the apps info but not all apps.
I just use the phone as a backup and don't know where it is right now but when I come accross it I'll post all the apps I disabled here.

I'm sorry I can remember the button combo... From phone off press and hold vol down and power release power and keep holding vol down... I think fast boot mode is an all black screen or it just has umx logo, can't remember exactly... when you have a fast hooky cmd window open type fastboot devices to see if your phone is connected... if it is not try holding vol up instead of vol down when turning phone on... if vol up don't work try holding both vol buttons. Before this can be done make sure usb debugging is enabled in developer options and authorize your pc when prompted... alternately after you have adb authorized you could use adb cmd "adb reboot bootloader"
If you ned help with adb/fastboot do a quick google search you will find plenty of info and instructions
I appreciate your reply.
But I need some more assistance, please:
I've rooted many devices, flashed custom ROM's, Custom recoveries, etc, but I'm completely stuck now with this phone.
I tried "Power and Vol Down"....nothing.
I tried "Power and Vol Up"...and for a split second I see the Android robot on its back...but after that split second, I'm in the stock recovery menu.
One of the stock recovery menu choices is to reboot into Bootloader. When I try that, the phone reboots; but to the best of my knowledge, does not get into Bootloader mode.
I have installed ADB on my PC. When I type "ADB devices", I see my phone listed. But when I type "adb reboot bootloader", it reboots, but not into Bootloader.
I have USB debugging enabled, I have authorized my PC, and in Developer options, I have enabled the "Unlock Bootloader" option.
My Googling results have not yielded useful info.
I'm stuck.....
I hope that someone with experience with this particular device can please tell me what I'm doing wrong.
Thank you!

I'm sorry I can remember the button combo... From phone off press and hold vol down and power release power and keep holding vol down... I think fast boot mode is an all black screen or it just has umx logo, can't remember exactly... when you have a fast hooky cmd window open type fastboot devices to see if your phone is connected... if it is not try holding vol up instead of vol down when turning phone on... if vol up don't work try holding both vol buttons. Before this can be done make sure usb debugging is enabled in developer options and authorize your pc when prompted... alternately after you have adb authorized you could use adb cmd "adb reboot bootloader"
If you ned help with adb/fastboot do a quick google search you will find plenty of info and instructions

for me command "Fastboot Continue" would make it continue to load, it did take a while....
if it continues the loop then something went wrong. as i got the infinite bootscreen 1st try.
i just reinstalled the boot image a 2nd time and it worked here's the CRC-32 Hash "a483081b"
Not sure what you mean. You wrote " command "Fastboot Continue" would make it continue to load" Do you mean from the PC command prompt? Do you mean from the phone's recovery menu?
You also wrote " i got the infinite bootscreen 1st try"
I don't know what you mean by "infinite bootscreen"......
Sorry I'm having trouble....ty!

Hope That Helps.
I Got Magisk, Xposed & Even A Custom Bootscreen With Sound on Mine.
Okay. Got it all done, mostly thanks to Liberator Elite. And just so that no one else should ever be as stuck as I was, please allow me to clarify what actually worked:
I kept on attempting to put the phone into Fastboot mode or Bootloader mode. I could enter the stock recovery, choose to boot into Bootloader, but it wasn't working--or so I thought. All I would see upon reboot was a screen that was black, with the words "UMX" (Ultimate Mobile Xperience??? or whatever...)
However, Liberator Elite called to my attention that that screen WAS THE BOOTLOADER screen. I typed "Fastboot Devices" from the command prompt, and there was my phone! I then was able to flash over the boot.img file, and the TWRP posted here, and from TWRP, I was able to install Magisk.
For some of you, this is all simple--thanks for not laughing.
And to the entire community, thanks for being such a great resource! All done--thanks to you guys. Much appreciated!!!
I unlocked my bootloader installes twrp and linage. What do i need to go full stock? Stock recovery stock os lock bootloader.

You know how to work with adb right? since you have unlocked your phone and flashed TWRP i think you have a little bit experience with adb.
first: download this zipfile:
https://wileyfox.wetransfer.com/downloads/aba80df646f39937021ef49438a629a320171121140241/aaa9dd
unzip it in the adb folder in your PC
make sure USB debugging is on in your phone and connect your phone to your PC
Optinal: open adb and type this command to make sure your device is properly connected:
adb devices
open adb and type this command:
adb reboot bootloader
now type these commands one after one (DO NOT REMOVE YOUR PHONE DURING THIS PROCESS):
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
and wait ..
once this process is done boot to the recovery (through typing this command: adb reboot recovery
or from the bootloader) and do a factory reset
Optional: Update your phone through the adb and relock the bootloader of your phone after this is done through the following command:
fastboot oem lock
Optional2: if you don't know how to update your phone through the adb, then just relock the bootloader and update it via the phone updater in the settings.
I hope this will help you

Forgot to say:
this will delete all your files on your phone and will unroot your device if it was rooted (so don't worry about the root)

If you can get to stock recovery (Power and arrow down I think) then do a factory reset in recovery. That worked for me.
Flashed files and no errors but just wont boot stuck on wileyfox..Ive tried factory reset and also flashed other recovery files but nothing is working.
